Forbes 2018: 10 Highest Paid NBA Players in 2018

#2 Stephen Curry [Overall: #8]

2-time MVP Stephen Curry

Earnings: $76.9 million [Salary: $34.9 million; Endorsements: $42 million]

Finally, the league's greatest 3-point shooter ever is receiving his due. For the last couple of years, Stephen Curry's contract (4-years and $44 million) easily made him the most underpaid player in the league. It was signed as a generous offer by the Warriors considering the fact that Curry was still dealing with ankle issues.

However, those stopped within a year of the signing of this deal and in the three years since, Curry has won 2 MVP's (one unanimous), 2 NBA Championships and the regular-season record of 73 wins. When he was slated to become a free-agent in 2017, there was no doubt in anybody's mind that the Warriors would offer him the biggest possible share of their cap space as they can. Golden State did just that, signing the Chef to a 5-year $201 million deal, the largest in league history.
